The Fisher MAcc Program
Overview
Fisher’s Master of Accounting Program helps you gain a broader and deeper understanding of how accounting functions within organizations. Our one year program, recently ranked 10th best in the nation by The CPA Personnel Report, will help you develop critical and analytical thinking, as well as reinforce strong technical skills required for CPA licensing.The program allows you maximum flexibility in meeting the program requirements. We strongly encourage you to think broadly about accounting, including its role in organizations, in markets and in society. We also encourage all Fisher MAcc students to design programs that develop their individual interests, skills, and potential for achieving career goals. We believe that flexibility in program design is consistent with developing individual capacity for both lifelong learning and rewarding careers.
One of the great advantages of studying accounting is the diversity of careers paths in which it plays a key role. Fisher MAcc students take positions in public accounting firms, financial services organizations, corporate business organizations, consulting firms, government agencies, and nonprofit enterprises, among other organizations. The high level of diversity that characterizes accounting career paths justifies providing a wide range of choice within the elective course structure and encouraging a portfolio approach to planning a masters-level program. You should think about how you want your career to unfold and how your career moves may be supported by the courses you choose.
